Suzuki's test ride roadshow returns for 2015 with events taking place across the manufacturer's dealer network this summer.

A mainstay of the Suzuki events calendar in recent years, the roadshow kicks off on July 4 and sees a whole fleet of demo machines tour the country, with test rides available on a number of models in the brand's on-road range, including the new GSX-S1000 super-naked.

Also available to test ride at each event will be the GSX-S1000F, GSX-R1000 and both the V-Strom 650 and V-Strom 1000 machines. The iconic Hayabusa will be available to try, along with the GSX-R750, Intruder M1800RBZ, the Bandit 1250S, and the Burgman 650 Executive.

Suzuki GB Marketing Manager Rob Cooper said,"Our test ride roadshows have proven really popular with both dealers and customers alike in recent years. They give us a real opportunity to get out into dealerships and spend some time talking to customers, listening to their thoughts and feedback. It also gives people the chance to take a test ride on a number of bikes in the range and bikes that their dealership may not always have available as a demo machine. These events, coupled with events like our Biker Café days and Silverstone track day in August, make for an action-packed summer and we're looking forward to getting the roadshow underway."

With both north and south demo fleets touring the country, the first events in this year's roadshow calendar take place at Motoden in London and Saltire Suzuki in Edinburgh on Saturday 4 July, and continue every weekend until the end of September.

Bike availability may differ at each event so please contact your local dealer for more information. GSX-S1000FA is not available on the roadshow until mid-July 2015. Demonstration rides require an agreed booking and are solely at the discretion of the dealer. With the paper counterpart for UK driving licences now redundant, those willing to take a test ride at any of the events must show both a photo card driving licence and their national insurance number so licence checks can be carried out. You may be asked for a deposit and further dealer terms and conditions may also apply. Please confirm your request with the dealer before travelling.

Suzuki has announced details of two new summer offers on both the GSR750 and V-Strom 650 models, which will run until September 30.

The capable middleweight adventure machine now comes with a free Garmin Zumo 590, while the GSR750 now boasts the same stunning Yoshimura R11 exhaust that comes as standard across the GSX-R range for 2015.

Both add even greater value to two already popular machines from Suzuki's on-road range. The Garmin Zumo 590, which retails for £499.99, makes finding an adventure on the V-Strom even easier, while the Yoshimura R11 exhaust adds that factory race team look to the award-winning GSR750 naked, powered by the motor from the iconic GSX-R750.

Both models are also currently available on Suzuki's 0% APR Representative finance offer over 48 months. For more information visit www.suzuki-gb.co.uk.

The offers apply to orders placed between 6 July and 30 September 2015, with the items shipped to the selling dealership after first registration. The offers are non-exchangeable and no cash alternative will be offered. The offer includes the Yoshimura R11 fitting costs. Garmin Zumo 590 fitting costs not included.

Suzuki's new Address 110 can be insured from as little as £74* per year, following the launch of Suzuki Insurance Services' new deal on the 145MPG** scooter.

With deals available for third party only through to fully comprehensive schemes and for riders aged 17 and over, Suzuki Insurance Services is committed to making owning and running the frugal, city all-rounder even more affordable, on top of its £1,799 RRP.

Mark Rzedzian from Suzuki Insurance Services said,"We know how the issue of insurance can sometimes be an obstacle, especially for young people, when it comes to getting into motorcycling or onto a scooter. This is why we've done our utmost to make it as easy and as affordable as possible with the new offer on Address 110."

Suzuki GB Marketing Manager Rob Cooper added,"The Address 110 is already an affordable, inner-city bike, perfect for commuting or nipping around town. It's also perfect for those getting onto two wheels for the first time. The new insurance offer now makes owning one even more cost effective, but also makes getting insurance easier for younger, first time riders too."

The Address 110 features a 5.2 litre fuel tank which, coupled with the bike's 145MPG, means a range of 165 miles on a single tank. 20.6 litres of under-seat storage will comfortably fit a full face helmet and change of clothes. There's also a top box available as part of a range of genuine Suzuki accessories, which adds a further 30 litres of storage capacity.

To highlight just how affordable and economical the Address 110 is, Suzuki's website also features a fuel economy calculator. Simply input your journey distance, fuel economy of your current bike or car, and current fuel price, and the calculator will work out how much you could save each journey.

In October 1984, Suzuki showed-up at the IFMA Show in Köln, Germany with a brand-new ground-breaking GSX-R750, setting a new industry-standard for the future of race-driven Superbikes that started a legacy for the Japanese company.

The 1985 production GSX-R750 was the first real race-replica machine sold to the public, taking its heritage from the race track and over the years being updated and developed into possibly the world’s best-loved range of motorcycles.

Suzuki will celebrate 30 years of the GSX-R with a special promotion at the Sachsenring MotoGP™ race in Germany next weekend, along with launching a new limited-edition production machine that will be available globally. Suzuki Motor Corporation is grateful to all its many loyal GSX-R series customers worldwide, as without them, this 30th Anniversary celebration would not have been possible.

With Suzuki’s move back into the top-level of road racing competition, the 2015 MotoGP™ World Championship, the two new Suzuki GSX-RRs ridden by Aleix Espargarò and Maverick Viñales – as well as all the team’s clothing – will reflect the iconic GSX-R750 colours, with a special livery that will be unveiled on Thursday July 9th at the Sachsenring circuit.

Suzuki's biker café days will return for 2015, with the Japanese manufacturer set to visit a number of popular biker haunts with a fleet of demo machines - including the new GSX-S1000 - which will be available for test rides at each event.

Suzuki will visit six of the most popular biker-friendly cafés across the country this summer, following a social media survey which invited the firm's Facebook and Twitter followers to suggest their favourite ones to visit.

A number of models from Suzuki's on-road range will be available to test ride at each event, including the new GSX-S1000, as well as bikes such as the GSX-R1000 and V-Strom 1000, with three-time British Superbike champion John Reynolds leading the ride outs.

Suzuki GB Marketing Manager Rob Cooper said ahead of the first event,"There are few better places to visit on a ride out than a proper biker café, and we're looking forward to getting back on the road and visiting some of the most popular ones again this summer. The events last summer were a real success and we really enjoyed every single one of them. It was also great to be able to ask our social media followers where they thought we should go again this year.

"These days give us an excellent opportunity to get out and meet like-minded people, and also give those that stop by the chance to take a test ride on a new Suzuki. We're looking forward to getting the first one underway."

The events will start this Sunday 14 June at the Super Sausage café, off the A5 near Towcester, before heading to:

Squires café, Leeds -26 July

Food Stop café, Bridgnorth - 1 August

Oakdene café, Kent - 9 August

Loomies café, New Forest - 16 August

Green Welly Stop, Tyndrum - 13 September

With the paper counterpart for UK driving licences now redundant, those willing to take a test ride at any of the events must show both a photo card driving licence and their national insurance number so licence checks can be carried out. Test rides available to persons aged 25 and over. Terms and conditions apply.
